We were examining a student the other day, and during the course of the exam I was sure that, even though he meant to say 'agricultural', he said 'uglycultural'!! Perhaps it was just my hearing, as neither of the other teachers seemed to have picked it up...but having read '1984' by George Orwell recently, and learning about 'Newspeak' - the word suddenly seemed to make sense :-)
I'm sure that there are a lot of things that we would consider to be 'uglicultural' :-) Certain music, art, films, buildings, behaviour...
OK, so I'm claiming this word.
Just like I did with 'flakating'!! :-)
